Symbolism of The Black Stallion snd the Red Mare

This was composed by Tara-Jane V, Dylan SS, Rachel, R, Ethan H.
Leadership-
"There in the midst of the other horses was the great black stallion, the leader of the band."

Protector-
"At a full gallop he snaked around the wide circle, roughly bunching the mares and colts into the smaller circle of an invisible corral."

Gentleness-
"Off the wind from the herd, a red mare came out from the fold of the low hills opposite. She stood motionless a moment, her graceful head held high."

Loyalty-
"He stops and nickers. She nickers in reply and comes close to him, her nose touching his flank. They stand a moment."

Defeat-
"The stallion was conquered. Never again would he roam the plains, proud and free, the monarch of his herd."

Compassion-
"Tears blinded his eyes and from his throat cam the sound of a single sob. It was as if he himself were being broken and tied."
